That being said, I know some of you want your beauty products ready-made and ready-to-use without having to concoct them yourself, so here are a few products for treating that dry winter skin that you can either buy or DIY.
OLIVE OIL CLEANSER
All skin types can enjoy the gentle, vitamin E-packed moisturization of olive oil, and using it as a cleanser is one of the best ways to do it. Olive oil breaks down dirt and makeup so that soap can easily cleanse it away — a method that's been used for decades in Asia, and recently oil-based cleansers and pre-cleansers have become the new 'it' beauty must-have in the West.
DIY
Combine 3 parts organic olive oil to 1 part castile soap, like
Dr. Bronner's unscented pure castile soap ($8,
Drugstore.com), together in a reusable flip-cap
plastic bottle. Even after the first use, you'll be able to
feel a difference in how the softness of your skin feels and see
how much better an olive oil cleanser works at removing the day
from your skin.
Buy
For a deep-cleansing experience appropriate for all skin types that
also balances the skin's natural oils, I like
St. Ives Olive Cleanser ($5, Amazon.com).
